Well, once again I've slacked off and not posted for a while. I'm attaching new pictures of Haleigh, the last ones were updated today.
Haleigh had her 2nd post-op MRI on August 1st. We had to go in and meet with her oncologist, Dr. Okcu, and we got the all clear. Dr. Okcu is pleased with Haleigh's progress, and we even get to move her MRI's from every 3 months to every 4 months. Little victories like this are awesome!
Haleigh is pulling up on everything in sight, crawling so fast, and very curious about everything around her. She loves to read books and is obsessed with looking at trees. We've been enjoying the gymnastics part of the Olympics, so maybe one day she'll be a gymnast!
No new teeth yet...still just 2. Hopefully we'll have some soon :-)
more later.
love
jess, jared & haleigh

Adding to yesterday's post...
Haleigh is growing like a weed, and her personality is developing so very quickly. She is quite sassy, and has increadibly expressive eyes.
We're almost done with her room decorating, so I will be uploading pictures of that when it's done.
that's about it. everyone here is great, haleigh is perfect, and our life is pretty easy!
take care

We have a crawler!!! AND teeth!!!
Big news from the Griffith household...Haleigh has started crawling and popped out 2 teeth for us :-) She's been practicing her crawling like crazy, and is going to be speedy gonzales before we know it!
Her middle bottom two teeth have broken the surface, and you can see them coming in!
Here are some pictures from Father's Day at the Weber house, Haleigh crawling, and just other randoms! Small Fry just woke up so I promise I will update more later tonight or tomorrow!

We're Back!!!
I've got to get better at updating this blog...I promised myself I would, so I'm going to make a real effort to update more frequently.
Things here have been relatively calm around here, but about to get insanely hectic in the coming weeks. Haleigh had her 6month check up with Dr. Hill not too long ago. She is coming in at 95% of height and 25% of weight for her age group. Miss Priss got her shots, and we were good to go! She was super fussy that day, but slept like a champ.
Haleigh is talking up a storm, rolling over, and stretching her body in any possible way to get something she wants off of the floor. We're even eating in a big girl high chair with baby foods :-) Haleigh LOVES the bananas and applesauce, we're still working on peaches and sweet potatoes. She's done an awesome job of not making too big of a mess while eating.
She's getting used to seeing Aunt Mi & Uncle Johnny (John & Michelle Anderson) weekly, and Uncle Johnny is finally coming around to holding her. He still calls her "champ", so we'll have to work on that. Baby steps, though!
The lil Griffith family has a big summer ahead of us. Haleigh will FINALLY take her first plane ride this weekend. We're going up to Kansas for a wedding on Saturday, then heading home on Sunday. The following weekend, we'll be in Austin for another wedding, and then my dad (Roy) is taking Jared & I to Florida to watch the shuttle launch, and then the big shabang... My mom (Kathi) is taking Jared & I to Mexico! and Haleigh will be staying in Kansas for the week. We get back from Mexico and then head to Austin for July 4th weekend, and then it's back to our boring old life.
Here are some recent pictures of Miss Priss. Hopefully the link works! I'll take a lot of pictures with Haleigh all dressed up this weekend and post them early next week!

Better late than never....
Haleigh's MRI came back and Dr. Jea has given us the "all clear" for the time being!!!!
We go back in to see Dr. Jea for our technical 3 month check up, and after that we won't see him until August.
Haleigh's room is coming along, more quickly than the rest of the house, and I will be posting pictures as soon as it's complete!
much love

Pictures & MRI
Well, a lot has been going on in this little Griffith household lately. We have been living in a construction site, basically. There are rooms left half unpainted, with all of the paint and accessories all over the floor. Boxes galore in the kitchen - some unpacked, others just opened to get one item out and then left. And laundry piles like I've never seen. I do laundry daily, and there is still SO much left to do. Oh well. It's OUR house. And we want to take the time to make it perfect for us.
As I type this, I'm uploading pictures of the house, running the washing machine & dishwasher, listening to Haleigh talk to her froggy toy, and waiting on Mr. DirecTv. Who knows how long he's going to take! Miss Priss has done amazingly well through all of this - she's such an awesome lil baby!!!
Her first MRI since we left Texas Children's was yesterday. It was scheduled for Tuesday, but we had a little time issue. Driving to the Med Center from The Woodlands is COMPLETELY different from driving in from the Heights...Needless to say, after a few choice words to some of the less than brilliant people that were working, we were rescheduled for Thursday. We went in, got there 40 minutes early, and got all of the questions asked of us by the staff before we got called back (which I love - less BS in the back, faster to get her to MRI). Once we got called back, the nurse came in and said they were going to put in her IV. Now, most of you know that Haleigh has inherited Griffith veins - pretty much impossible to find - thanks for that one, Griffith ladies ;-). This nurse was awesome - one prick, and the IV was in. Haleigh was comforted by Sugar for that part as I do not do needles very well. Anyway...Haleigh got called down early (very rare!), and once they gave her the anastesia, she was out in about 10 seconds - no lie! When we went back to see her in recovery, she was awake & having some yummy pedialite. She was not as drunk of a baby as she was last time, but still pretty funny to watch.
I call in at 10am to get results, so I will post them as soon as I get them.
Here are the pictures from moving days, crawfish boil, Haleigh's first Easter, and Uncle Johnny holding Haleigh Bug for the first time ever!!!

The New House!
Well, after a long weekend, we are somewhat settled into the new house in The Woodlands. Jared & I are going on virtually no sleep, attempting to get as much done in every waking hour possible. We are still lacking a fridge, sink faucet, disposal, working dishwasher, and all of our furniture from the apartment. Jared & his dad moved all of the boxes from the apartment over on Friday, and we've attempted to unpack some...I'm hesitant to unpack before we clean up after the lady that lived here before us.
I got some great pictures this weekend, and will upload them to the website soon.
Hope all is well.
